PS Audio Premeir vs. New Shunyata power cond.

I have B&W 802 Speakers, Krell Home Theater Standard surround preamp processor, Krell 300cx Amplifier and Day Sequerra FM Reference Tuner and will be running all my gear through dedicated lines. I am considering several power conditioners, the new PS Audio Premeir Power Regenerator as well as the new Shunyata unit. Their have been several units already on Audigon on the new PS Audio unit and I'm wondering if there is a problem with the unit or possibly that it doesn't perform well? Does anyone have any experience with either of these units?

The PPP preforms GREAT. It does benefit from upgrading the power cord AND isolation.

Tweak1 or AIT. I have a 10 foot Voodoo Mana power cord connected from the PPP to a PS Audio Solist outlet, which works great. My question is due to lenght between my Mid Atlantic rack and my PPP, I didnt want to run a 20 foot upgraded Power Cord to the PPP from the Sub, due to $$$$. Have any of you seen or heard a considerable difference plugging a sub directly into something like a Solist and bypassing a PPP or equivalent?

My sub is plugged into the PPP, but I don't think that is as critical as your main speakers. You should be fine plugging the sub directly into the wall (except for power surge risks).

Suggest you consider the Exact Power EP15A regenerator...only consumes 15 watts at idle..the PPP consumes enough to make you notice your electrical bill has gone up.
